I’m starting a new project in 2019, and I will no longer write it as potatowire. On January 31st, I will transition out of my
Commanding Officer role. On March 1st, I will go on terminal leave, retiring June 1st from the Navy after 20 years on Active
Duty. This is why I have been pseudonymous, but it’s time to leave that behind.

So, what is the new project? It is called This Will Be Hard, and there I will begin the next
phase of my life. It will be hard, but I hope you’ll join me.
